I had initially ended my post with a statement along the lines of "Please don't interpret this as a debate.." but deleted it at the last minute. Like you, I spend a lot of time thinking before I hit the Submit button.
My point, which was not made well yesterday, was that we could never fully understand our minds, since we are using the very tool we are attempting to study. The emphasis should be on 'fully'. I agree that we will continue to learn more about our conscienceness the more we explore. I also agree that meditation and cogitation will reveal highly specific knowledge.
Scientists always must factor in the inherent shortcomings of the equipment they use. Light microscopes only work down so far, electron microscopes to the size of an electron, etc. I am trying to draw the analogy that studying the mind with the mind will yield incomplete results at best.
I'm not debating you, Art. I just tried to make a point to ponder. If I did a poor job I apologize.
